Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?
Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.

The Conference Board Employment Trends Index Increased in October
Conference Board News Release (11/09/15)
The Conference Board Employment Trends Index increased in October. The index now stands at 129.48, up from 128.65 in September (after a downward revision). The change represents a 4.1% gain in the ETI compared with a year ago.
“The [ETI] continues to show solid and broad-based gains, with no significant slowdown in job growth expected through the first quarter of 2016,” says Gad Levanon, managing director of macroeconomic and labor market research at the Conference Board. “Solid job growth and the lack of recovery in labor-force participation suggest that the unemployment rate may dip below 4.5% by this time next year.”
